Pat Benatar, We Belong
Many times I cried alone
Always I’m surprised how well you cut my feelings to the bone
Don’t want to leave you really
To the doubts that complicate your mind
We belong to the sound of the words we’ve both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace for worse or for better
Maybe I just wouldn’t know what to do with my strength anyway
Have we become a habit? Do we distort the facts?
Now there’s no looking forward
Now there’s no turning back
When you say
We belong to the sound of the words we’ve both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace for worse or for better
We belong, we belong, we belong together
Close your eyes and try to dream
Clear your mind and do your best to try and wash the palette clean
We can’t begin to know it, how much we really care
I hear your voice inside me, I see your face everywhere
Still you say
We belong to the sound of the words we’ve both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace for worse or for better
We belong, we belong, we belong together
We belong to the sound of the words we’ve both fallen under
Whatever we deny or embrace for worse or for better
We belong, we belong, we belong together
We belong to the light, we belong to the thunder

Pat Benatar COVID-19
Pat Benatar and her husband Neil Giraldo released a video for their latest song, “Together,” which was inspired by the coronavirus pandemic. Watch the clip below. While the couple are locked down in each others’ company, they were moved to write about the experiences of others who can’t be together, and of the friends and family who remain separated by attempts to contain the spread of COVID-19.
“In challenging times, it sometimes helps to seek out beauty and hope and positivity. Making music leads us down that path,” Benatar and Giraldo said in a statement. “We wrote this because we are all hurting, struggling, grieving. We hope in some small way, that this lifts spirits and heals hearts. Wishing everyone blessings, strength, and love.”
In 2018, Benatar explained how she and Giraldo bonded when he was brought in to help work on the song “Heartbreaker” for her debut album, 1979’s In the Heat of the Night. It had been written from a male perspective, which was the first thing she changed.
“When I got it, it had kinda all these English colloquialisms, and I changed a bunch of lyrics so it would fit,” she said. “But the gender of the thing – bending the gender and having a female sing it instead … it was exactly what I wanted.” Next, she struggled with the sound she wanted: “I heard it in my head, but I couldn’t get anybody to play what I was hearing. And the minute he walked in, he knew exactly what I was talking about. He played it exactly the way that I wanted it, and the whole thing was born from that.”
Pat Benatar Love is a Battlefield
(Heartache to heartache)
Heartache to heartache
(We stand)
We stand
(No demands)
No demands
(Love is a battlefield)
Love is a battlefield
Whoo
No one can tell us we’re wrong
Searching our hearts for so long
Both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield
Then making me stay
Why do you hurt me so bad
It would help me to know
Do I stand in your way
Or am I the best thing you’ve had
Believe me
I can’t tell you why
But I’m trapped by your love
And I’m chained to your side
Heartache to heartache we stand
No promises
No demands
Love is a battlefield
No one can tell us we’re wrong
Both of us knowing
Will you turn me away
Or touch me deep inside
Will, it still feel the same
There’s no way this will die
I could lose control
And if your heart surrenders
Heartache to heartache we stand
No promises
No demands
Love is a battlefield
No one can tell us we’re wrong
Searching our hearts for so long
Both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield

Drownin’ me in your promises, better left unsaid
You’re the right kind of dreamer, to release my inner fantasy
